BuddyPress.org

Hi mercime. I set up a test site on my localhost(mac environment). I then recreated the same set up on my hosting space using a fresh download of both wordpress and buddy press. I think I have located the problem to my permalinks in that WordPress includes the index.php in the permalink and this inhibits buddy press functionality(?). I have mod rewrite enabled on the server and have tried numerous elements from other support threads e.g. ensuring .htaccess is correct. I don’t have a url at present as I am only putting it up as a test site and by the time I had posted I took it down! let me know if this is enough information and any help would be most welcome.

The simplest approach may be to surpress the “click here to activate your account” emails, and use something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/ to manually activate them.

I still can’t find anywhere that BuddyPress sends emails when something happens in the forums (unless another plugin is providing this feature for you). Best I can find is if someone replies to an Activity item created by someone posting on the forum.

@boonebgorges I have updated the line as suggested and now the e.g. twitter link acts like a buddypress search rather than a twitter link. e.g. the twitter id is mytwittername clicking it goes to http://mywebsite/members/?s=mytwittername

@naijaping On second thought I do like what I see in your approach better than the drop down menu I have. So I am interest in the code. From what I can tell it seems like you have everything in in your header.php file. I would like to do this with maybe a few changes in styling. Let me know when you have the code here. Thanks!
Edit:
It would also be helpful if you can share where in the header.php file that the code needs to be placed. Thanks again!

if you use a buddypress compatible theme, you need to edit

mytheme/members/single/home.php
and
mytheme/members/single/profile.php

home.php is global template of member page , it include the profile part.

– if you use the buddypress default, theme, you find it
plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/

Its ridiculous you are bound to be loosing users that give up in frustration because they cant find their answers – or the same questions gets asked over and over for the same reason wasting resources. And I just started a new thread exclaiming the same because I couldn’t find this thread – I had to use google which returns lots of links to plugins about forums or about search functions.

@sarah_lena

I spend a lot of time to find a fix for that. So if you still have problems do the following:
1.) Download the “avatars” folder and delete all bpfull-XXxXX.jpg pictures and reupload it
2.) Take a look here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4092
@boonebgorges gave the comment with the workaround (Thanks for this!)…

So this is the code to replace with in bp-core-avatars.php, line 211:
`// Check for current avatar
foreach( $avatar_files as $key => $value ) {
if ( strpos ( $value, $avatar_size )!== false ) {
$avatar_url = $avatar_folder_url . ‘/’ . $avatar_files[$key];
break;
}
}
`

For me there are no more problems now… It would be great if the BuddyPress-Team could get this into the next release…

Best!

The default theme with BuddyPress doesn’t have a log in widget. If you’re not using a different theme and you’re referring to the sidebar area, that’s hardcoded into the template. In this case, some extra text with a register link will appear as long as user registrations are enabled on your site.

@robreg what theme are you using? Did you check at bottom of the page you looked at where we have “template-packed” a number of WP themes https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

If your WP theme is not listed there, open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all, paste in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URL here. Do the same for your theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php file. I need to see the whole picture.

@charlietech you have posted about this same issue in a previous post. If I recall well, the issue is either with Suffusion or the Suffusion BP template pack. Did you not contact the theme/plugin author about this issue?

@raphadko aas r-a-y mentioned above, it would require custom development.

Simplest way to add a notice is to create a function where you can add/revise the announcement/s and hook it into `do_action( ‘bp_before_group_forum_content’ );`
OR
copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/forum.php into your theme folder wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder/groups/single/forum.php and add/style announcement on line 2 or line 4 of that file. It will show up in all group forums but won’t show up in Forums Directory list of topics.

@lottiejam you have to provide more information
WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Site URL?
